I attempted this last year but inadvertantly got engaged and thus distracted but now I'm back, still engaged, and eager to give it another go. Currently I'm testing some kit and working out the logisics. There are various things to consider; how not to freeze to death, how to spend time with my fiance, how not to get carried away by an avalanche / yeti and how to not let this interfere with my job.

Bananas

Bananas are a tropical creature; they do not take well to being put into the fridge or even a freezer. This may be worth considering before leaving a banana next to your bed for breakfast the next morning when it is minus lots during the night. By the time the thing thawed it was completely black.

If you have any yew left, you could whittle yourself a lollipop stick and create a frozen banana lolly!

Which would be poisonous. Maybe best not.

Someone told me about you in a pub (The Lamb and Flag on St Giles in fact) a couple of weeks ago. I thought he was joking, or drunk... or both. Then today another friend linked to you from his blog and I discovered it was all true!

You're a brave man. I remember thinking last night as I came in from feeding the rabbits at about midnight "I'm glad I don't have to sleep outside."
